New threats from this regime come at a rapid pace, and we need to move just as fast. That often means responding to emerging attacks like Trumpโ€™s map-rigging scheme before we can financially plan for them. Your donations make all of that organizing work possible. Please pitch in if you can.

The Gestapo violence is horrible--but it's noteworthy that almost every ICE attack that gets recorded includes bystanders at a minimum telling them they're evil, and sometimes being even more engaged. Proud that so many are standing up to the thugs.

In April, @slotkin.senate.gov announced her intended support for legislation that would CUT and FREEZE the wages of farm workers - one of the most underpaid professions in the US.
This is just wrong!

Call Senator Slotkin TODAY! Urge her to withdraw her support.

Avelo Airlines is profiting off Trumpโ€™s terror tactics. By contracting with DHS to run their (often illegal) deportation flights, Avelo is complicit in destroying the very same communities it relies on for its business to succeed.

Letโ€™s make Aveloโ€™s deportation flights too costly to continue.

CARE OVER CUTS: REINING IN THE TRUMP CHAOS

Democrats must commit to opposing any GOP budget that lets Trumpโ€™s chaos and lawlessness continue unchecked.

Republicans must feel the heat from constituents who donโ€™t want their elected officials obediently kissing Trumpโ€™s butt and rubber-stamping his descent into authoritarianism.

Take action. ๐Ÿ‘‡

We need to draw attention to a new, exploding type of household debt that only recently emerged: it's called rent debtโ€”or "back rent debt," and it didn't really exist before COVID at all. It's getting little attention in housing discourse and media coverage.

We'll explain it.
